Research on the influencing factors and realization path of Chinese residents' health levels: a social, ecological, and medical perspective.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe health of the population serves as a cornerstone for sustainable economic development and stands as a vital indicator of national prosperity and strength. Based on the theory of health human capital, this study explores the practical issues of enhancing residents' health levels through the synergy of social, ecological, and medical factors.
methodsUtilizing provincial panel data from China spanning 2011 to 2020, this research employs entropy methods and dynamic Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) to measure the health levels of Chinese residents. The study analyzes the synergistic roles of social, ecological, and medical factors in improving health from both a temporal perspective and a configurational viewpoint.
resultsNo single factor is a necessary condition for achieving high health levels among residents. However, the necessity of per capita health expenditure has been increasing yearly, showing a temporal effect. There are four distinct pathways that can lead to high health levels, which can be further categorized into social-ecological-medical synergistic, social-ecological, and social-medical driven configurations. Temporally, the consistency of configurations 1 and 3 collectively decreased in 2020, likely due to the outbreak of COVID-19, which temporarily shifted the core factors affecting residents' health. Spatially, there are no significant regional effects among the four configurations, indicating that their explanatory power does not significantly differ across provinces.
conclusionsThe collaborative efforts of social, ecological, and medical factors are found to significantly enhance the health levels of residents in China. Drawing on existing research in the field of public health, the study proposes an analytical framework for understanding the factors influencing health levels. By integrating a configurational perspective into the study of health human capital theory, this research broadens the analytical lens used to examine health levels, offering important theoretical insights and policy implications.
